Oh the high and mighty programmers. You remind me of puffed-up royalty
who try to convince the "common people" that only blue blooded persons
could possibly understand the complexities of running a state.
Blake, why don't you live in an arab country (or any
monarchy/dictatorship) where there are others who think they are the
only ones capable of making descisions/judgements because they are "in
the know".
I know that as programmer, you are frequently exposed to criticism - and
that can be frustrating/alienating/etc. I understand. But, there is no
reason for the arrogance and cynicism you are displaying. I makes you
look weak and insecure.
PS. If making a decent text editor is so hard (as judged by you
sarcastic response to my inquiry), why then are there (and always have
been) a plethora of share-/freeware text editors? It seems that every
beginning programmer starts out with programming a text editor.
